Guidelines for AI agents working in this repository.

Repository Overview

This repository contains Agent Skills following the Agent Skills specification, packaged as a Claude Code plugin marketplace via .claude-plugin/marketplace.json.

• Name: loop-skills
• GitHub: donnfelker/loop-skills
• License: MIT

Every plugin here is a bounded autonomous loop: it drives an artifact to a terminal state, checks an explicit termination condition (quiet round, two clean passes, a cap), and commits per round for an audit trail.
